Chapter 261: Scheming

Yang Hao returned to the Kaifeng Mansion Fire Courtyard, and immediately summoned a group of minions Luo Hao to kill out of Kaifeng Mansion, and the old Liu Tou, who was selling pears under the willow tree opposite Kaifeng Mansion, looked at the demolition team carrying pickaxes and shovels, and muttered to himself: "Huh! Stunned Qing went out in person again, which official suffered this time? ”

Yang Hao led the people straight to the Luo's mansion in Zuobaokangmen in Wheat Straw Lane, looked around, pointed to a few low sheds in the alley, and asked, "Why hasn't this place been demolished?" ”

A fire patrol with a red circle on his chest and a fire word in the middle stepped forward and said, "My lord, you didn't say that this place would be demolished." ”

"Really? Then it must be the official's negligence. Yang Hao picked up the brush, walked over and wrote a word on the wall of the shed, drew a circle familiarly, and said, "Okay, now you can dismantle." ”

He turned his head to look at the Luo Mansion with the door closed, and beckoned: "Go, smash the door for me, that is, the Nanya Fire Courtyard wants to demolish the shed, and tell the owner of this house to come out quickly." ”

The fire catcher reminded with a smile: "My lord, this house is the residence of Lord Luo, the deputy envoy of the third envoy. ”

Yang Hao glared at him and shouted, "So what? ”

"Yes, yes," said the fire, "You dare to demolish the shed of the prince's house, what else can I do?" At that moment, he obediently stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door answered the door, and the door thought that it was a guest who came to visit his lord, but when he asked, it was Kaifeng Mansion who came to demolish the shed, so he hurriedly turned around and reported inward.

In the inner house, Luo Keqin, the third son of the Luo family, heard that Kaifeng Mansion was coming to demolish the shed, and he was furious and shouted: "The deception is too much, do you think my Luo family is going to collapse, come, come, gather strong servants for me, and I'll go and see which bastard dares to demolish my family's things." ”

Luo Gongming was sitting in the flower hall sipping fragrant tea and reading quietly, when he heard the voice, Shou frowned slightly, and shouted: "Qin'er, stop talking!" We don't need to demolish and clean up this alley, right? Which official from Kaifeng Mansion brought someone here? ”

As soon as he heard Lao Luo ask, the man hurriedly entered the flower hall and said, "Back to the master, it is the stunned head of the Nanya Fire Academy...... Ah no, Dean Yang, I brought someone here. ”

"Yang Hao?" Luo Gongming put down the book, stood up and paced a few steps slowly, stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Hehe, this son has a sincere heart, and he has no wrong friends to defeat the enemy." ”

"Daddy!" Luo Keqin rushed in angrily, looking at the eager look, just waiting for his father to bow his head slightly and go out. Luo Gongming frowned and reprimanded: "You, the eldest is not young, and his temperament is still so reckless, not to mention your eldest brother and second brother, even your younger brother is much calmer than you." You ......, call your second brother over. ”

Although Luo Sangongzi was angry, he was most afraid of his father, so he had to endure his anger and retreat, and after a while, he led Luo Kejie to hurry over, and Luo Kejie said: "Daddy, you call me?" ”

Luo Gongming called him to the front and whispered a detailed instruction, Luo Kejie understood and immediately retreated.

After a while, as soon as the corner door of the Luo family's mansion opened, the second son of Luo walked out alone, Shi Shiran, and said: "I am the second son of the Luo family, who is here in Kaifeng Mansion on an errand?" ”

Yang Hao immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Second Prince Luo, I have offended. Yang Hao, Kaifeng Mansion Fire Hospital, according to the holy decree to clear the illegal construction, dredge the road, build a fire patrol shop, you have a few sheds in this alley not only obstruct the view, but also make people inconvenient, Yang to be demolished, this is the holy decree. ”

Luo Kejie laughed and said: "I see, that place is just a place to put the toilet every morning, and to build a shed just to prevent rain in summer and snow in winter, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Yang Hao was overjoyed, looked back and said, "You heard it, but you don't do it." After sending someone to demolish the shed, Yang Hao said loudly again: "Second Prince Luo understands righteousness, and Yang admires it very much." Then he said in a low voice: "I heard that the eldest prince committed an accident, and now he has been imprisoned to be involved, Yang just heard it today, and he came in a hurry, I don't know what is happening now?" ”

Luo Kejie smiled slightly, and lowered his voice and said: "My brother will never be corrupted, let alone fornicate with the northern country, this is deliberately framed by someone, making something out of nothing is not the gold of refining fire after all, the court will investigate it, and the Luo family will always be innocent, Dean Yang bothered." ”

"I didn't do anything," Yang Hao said: "I and Brother Ke are brothers who share life and death, Luo Gong is in trouble, if there is a place to use me, just open your mouth." Luo Gong closed the door, thinking that he was waiting for the court to come to an end, so there would be no more chaos, right? ”

Luo Kejie was faintly worried between his eyebrows, and sighed lightly: "When the water comes out, the things that shouldn't come out will also come out, but it's just ...... It's not a very tight matter, and Dean Yang doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Yang Hao was stunned, and suddenly became suspicious, saying that there was no greed, and there was no fornication with the Liao, so what are you worried about? Could it be that the eldest son of the Luo family has another unsightly privacy, because of this doubtful case, as soon as the imperial history investigates, it will be exposed? ”

Sure enough, Luo Kejie smiled bitterly: "There are indeed some shady things in this, and the person who planned to frame my Luo family is very shrewd and well versed in official affairs." Speaking of which, no one will check a court official, especially my Luo family, my father is the deputy envoy of the three ministers, and anyone in the court has to give some face, but the framed person used a trick that was easy to debunk, and the official family investigated this thoroughly, and some inconvenient things were inevitably exposed. ”

Luo Kejie said it concisely, and Yang Hao understood the reason.

It turned out that after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the situation of warlord secession like the Tang Dynasty, the local military power, political power, financial power, criminal power, and official appointment and dismissal power were separated one by one. In order to prevent corruption and corruption caused by transshipment, financial power is also highly centralized, and when the local government needs financial supplies, it is necessary to transfer the imperial court to allocate funds.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the quality of the financial officials was uneven, so the finances were very chaotic, and often when there was no need for appropriation, the transfer envoy hurriedly asked the court for appropriation, and after allocating the money, he found that he did not need to allocate the money, and he had to pay the money, so the court made provisions on the performance appraisal, requiring the transfer envoys to balance the financial revenue and expenditure of the road as much as possible, and once the appropriation of the imperial court was improper, it would be investigated for dereliction of duty.

However, it is difficult to draw a clear line between this and inappropriate, in order not to be tainted in the performance appraisal class, many transfer envoys have kept a mobile endowment on hand, once the local needs are in need of the past, and then apply to the imperial court for allocation, and make up for the mobile endowment, so as to avoid frequently asking the imperial court for transfer of funds, which of course violates the laws and regulations of the imperial court.

Yang Hao was also a little dazed when he heard it, this kind of thing is similar to the "empty seal case" in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a compromise plan that officials came up with in the face of policy troubles. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court stipulated that all political envoys, prefectures, prefectures, and counties were required to send officials to the household department to report the income and expenditure accounts of the local treasury and the number of all money grains.

Because the political envoys and accountants were too far away from the capital, and the trip was protracted, they pre-held blank account books stamped with official seals, and filled them in at any time when they were refuted by the ministry.

As a result, Ming Taizu later found out about this, Taizu was furious, and ordered to execute all those who obeyed the main seal from the household department to the main seal of the household, and one of the main reasons was not because there was much room for corruption in this kind of thing, but that it violated the emperor's most taboo thing: Yang Feng Yin violated, bullying and unauthorized power.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin is not as murderous as Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is difficult to say how he will react when he hears this. He sent the transfer envoy to collect the local finances and prohibit the local interception, but now it is good that the transfer envoy has left a large amount of wealth in his hand, which does not touch his scales?

Yang Hao was stunned for a long time before he said: "This plan is really vicious, once it is found out by the imperial court, what will happen?" ”

Luo Kejie said: "It's hard to say, it's hard to guess the emperor's mental skills, in fact...... As long as the brother truthfully says what is the last resort to do this, and then says that all the transfer envoys do this, it is just a habit of convention, and after the official family understands the reason, it will not be too difficult for the brother, but this time, my Luo family will offend all the gods of wealth in the world. ”

Yang Hao frowned and asked, "Is there no remedy?" ”

Luo Kejie shook his head, and said heartily: "Dean Yang doesn't have to worry about the Luo family, the official family is benevolent, and he won't be too embarrassed by the Luo family, not to mention that my brother is only a deputy envoy, and there is a chief envoy above." As long as the affair with the northern kingdom cannot be confirmed, even if the crime of corruption is confirmed, the big deal is just a derogatory punishment. ”

Yang Hao sighed, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Yang Hao is soft-spoken, and he is powerless to deal with such a major event in the court, so he can't help after all, alas, ......, I'm really ashamed." ”

Luo Kejie smiled and said: "Hehe, it's nothing, my father said, sometimes, to suffer is to take advantage, only the wise can see the benefits." ”

"Huh?" Yang Hao's heart jumped, and he raised his eyes to look at Luo Kejie, who had already looked left and right and said to him: "My father also said that Dean Yang came to visit the Luo family when it was in danger, and he wanted to do his best to help, and the Luo family wrote down this feeling. What Dean Yang has done recently, my father also knows, Dean has done a good job, but ...... Before it was too late, the blade of suspicion hanging over the head of the lord had been removed, and the dean could do things for the court with peace of mind. ”

Yang Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and listened to the tone, this old fox has already arranged for his predicament, but he doesn't have to worry too much, Luo Gong is an important minister of the imperial court, and he can often come into contact with Zhao Kuangyin's characters, he revealed this information, obviously telling himself that the emperor's suspicion of himself has been dispelled, this is great news, and a big stone in his heart has finally fallen to the ground.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Luo's house, Luo Keqin, who was taught a lesson by Luo Gongming, stood in front of him like a defeated rooster, Luo Gongming no longer paid attention to him, took a sip of tea slowly, looked at the book in his hand, and put the teacup on the table.

Luo Gongming's gray eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked up helplessly and said, "Madam, what are you doing here?" ”

In front of him stood a middle-aged beauty, in a pure white light robe, although her face was slightly wrinkled, but because of the accumulation of years, she added a bit of elegant and graceful mature charm that girls do not have, and her facial features were charming, round and jade.

When Luo Keqin saw her coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Mother." ”

"You go out, I have something to say to your father."

"Yes, yes," Rokeqin was overjoyed and immediately fled in a puff of smoke. This Mrs. Luo is the continuation of Luo Gongming, about twenty years younger than Luo Gongming, and is the most favored by Luo Gongming, and only she dares to speak loudly in front of this old man in the Luo family. This Mrs. Luo's biological children are only Luo Kedi and a sister Luo Min, but she has treated her ex-wife's children equally since she came to the door, and has won the unanimous respect of the whole house.

Luo Gongming looked at his son, who was faster than a rabbit, and snorted: "Who provoked you again, causing you to come to ask for your guilt against the husband?" ”

The woman glared at a pair of spring-like eyes, and said angrily: "Don't pretend in front of me, I heard that Kaifeng Mansion is also bullying now?" If you continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head, there will be more and more ghosts who come to the door, Kecheng has been detained in the Imperial History Prison for several days, what about you, eat and sleep well, don't worry at all, isn't he your own? ”

"Save? can't be saved, can't be saved......" Luo Gongming shook his head again and again: "Isn't it just a matter of detaining him for a few days, neither will he be tortured, nor will he be embarrassed for him, where is there not to eat and sleep, what is there to worry about?" After Luo Gongming finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to read.

Mrs. Luo was very angry, snatched the book and slapped it on a few cases, and shouted: "Old fox, what are your plans, now the whole family is panicking, you can at least say it so that I know it." ”

"Intended?" Luo Gongming smiled and slowly stood up: "What are you going to do, what are you going to plan?" Kecheng was obviously framed, but do you know ...... Who is the mastermind? What is the purpose? Is the target him or the old man? Is there anything left behind? ”

Mrs. Luo was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know, do you know?" ”

Luo Gongming shook his head and said: "I don't know if I'm a husband, so it's better to be still than still, and it's better not to move blindly, so as not to mess up my own position." ”

Mrs. Luo said unhappily: "What if that family doesn't have a backdrop?" Kecheng has been locked up there like this, and you old guy will ignore it? Your heart is really ruthless, I see you, you have a desperate heart, that is, there is no desperate life, my enemy has died in battle, and they also pointed to Kecheng and Kejie that they will support me in the future, you are good......"

Mrs. Luo talked about her own son, and when she was in tears, Luo Gongming, who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, panicked, and quickly got up, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wiped her tears and said: "Look at you, look at you, why are you crying, who said that the husband sat here and ignored it?" My husband has already started thinking about it, and I am waiting for you to urge me? ”

Mrs. Luo snatched the handkerchief, wiped her tears indiscriminately, glared at her apricot eyes and said, "You have already started to think of a way?" I didn't see you go out, did you ask for help from Zhao Xianggong's mansion or the emperor's brother Nanya? In front of the official family, the two of them have weight in their words. ”

Luo Gongming smiled smugly, and said: "I have made people spread the news in the market, on the one hand, I said that the husband and Zhao Xianggong were thick, offending Lord Zhao of Nanya, and on the other hand, I said that the husband had close contacts with the current emperor's brother, Zhao Xianggong was jealous, hehe, after a few days of hard work, presumably these rumors have already been transmitted to the ears of the official family by Wu Desi." ”

Mrs. Luo's eyes widened wider and wider, and her rosy lips gradually opened, and Luo Gongming said again: "After a few days of hard work, the heat is almost over, I have secretly informed a few friends of Yushitai that tomorrow morning I will play a chapter to impeach her husband for colluding with Kecheng's father and son, bending the law for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, hahaha...... Uh, ma'am, what do you do? ”

Mrs. Luo took her hand off his forehead, grabbed his goatee, and yelled, "Are you not sick?" Unexpectedly, you can't find yourself happy? If you are impatient, go and kill yourself with a noodle hanging beam, don't be angry with me here, angry with me, really angry with me, married to such a foolish old ghost as you. ”

Luo Gongming took back his beard from her hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is yours, there is a reason to do this for your husband." ”

Mrs. Luo angrily snatched his chair and sat down by herself, and said angrily, "You say, what do you mean by doing this? ”

Luo Gongming walked up to her, crossed his hands and said with a smile: "Madam, this trick for the husband is called retreating as advance, killing two birds with one stone." Of course, Cheng'er will not fornicate with the northern country, I believe that the official family also knows this, and the court cannot get any evidence of Kecheng, so the slightest suspicion of the official family will naturally disappear.

However, these valuable goods in Kecheng's cabin could not tell the way they came from, and a crime of smuggling could not escape. This is a subsection, but the southeast east of the private accumulation of interception of wealth has been investigated, this kind of bullying is the most taboo of the emperor, today there are courtiers who dare to be bullied, tomorrow there are courtiers who dare to be bullied, in your opinion, the situation is forgivable, but for the sake of respect, the emperor who is high up Why is it a head? ”

Mrs. Luo's face changed suddenly, and she lost her voice: "Is it so serious?" ”

"It's hard to say, even if you don't kill someone, you will be punished severely. But for the sake of the husband, there are doubts about it, the official family is suspicious of the dispute between the prime minister and the emperor's brother, and someone deliberately framed me, in that case, our Luo family will be safe, and punishment is inevitable, but it will not collapse, and there will be no chance of a comeback, which is called leaving Qingshan in Ah ....... ”

Mrs. Luo's eyes rolled, and she asked again: "This is the first eagle you said?" What is the second eagle? ”

Luo Gongming's eyebrows were slightly locked, and he said heavily: "Who is trying to be unfavorable to the old man, I still don't know what to do, think about it, this matter is likely to be related to the dispute between Zhao Xianggong and Nan Yahuang's brother, we can't wait here stupidly, and when the dagger appears, it's too late to understand." Spreading the news for her husband is to hope that they will restrain themselves.

On my birthday last autumn, Zhao Xianggong celebrated me at the 'Deyue Building' banquet, and if I didn't go, I would offend people, so I had to go for my husband. During the Chinese New Year, Nan Yahuang's brother gave a gift, and if he didn't accept this gift, he would offend people, and his husband had to accept it. Now that this phase is fighting more and more, the centrist who wants to protect himself is having a hard time.

However, Zhao Xianggong and Nan Yahuang's brother, who wins? I can't tell, once you stand on the wrong team, there will never be a place to turn over, and now they are still competing in secret, I think...... It won't be long before these two adults will have to go into battle shirtless and compete directly, at this juncture, we might as well take advantage of this case to take the opportunity to withdraw from this gathering place and come back when the wind and waves are calm. ”

Only then did Mrs. Luo understand his intentions, think about it carefully, and said unwillingly: "But in this way, Kecheng's transfer will make him lose his position?" ”

Luo Gongming said disapprerovingly: "What do you gain by gaining or losing for a while? The transfer envoy was supposed to be changed every three years, and it couldn't be done for long. Besides, what is wrong with young people being wronged, if they don't experience some setbacks, their careers will be smooth sailing, they will be full of pride, and when they reach a high position, they will be heeled, maybe it will be a big heel to lose their heads. ”

Mrs. Luo glared at him and said angrily: "You old turtle thinks long-term, and as soon as something happens, you immediately shrink your head,"

Luo Gongming said with a smile: "Hehe, in this way, the political arena will never fall......"

Mrs. Luo asked again, "Are we all going to leave this time?" ”

Luo Gongming shook his head and said: "Keqin is the Nanya Silu who joined the army, and this matter will not implicate him, of course, he still has to stay in Beijing." This child has a reckless temperament, and he is most worried about his husband, so he just taught him a lesson, which is not ...... Before you finish speaking, you're here. ”

Mrs. Luo snorted coldly and said, "If you are interested, continue to teach your son, who is going to demolish our yard outside, you old thing has put up with it, right?" ”

Luo Gongming smiled slightly: "The one outside is not here to demolish our yard, but to come to build a bridge and pave the way to relieve the righteous people in need." Hehe, the old man has been an official all his life, if he is in danger and wants to be rescued by his juniors, what else is there to mix up in this Huan Hai career. However, his affection is commendable, and his husband has instructed Keqin to walk around with this person more in the future, which will be of great benefit to him. ”

In the alley on the side of the courtyard wall of Luofu is just a few wooden sheds that are open on three sides, which are dismantled very quickly, at this time Yang Hao and Luo Kejie also spoke, Luo Kejie said goodbye to the country and returned to the house, Yang Hao learned that the emperor had eliminated the news of the killing machine for him, and his heart was very relaxed. ”

Yang Hao walked alone along Baokang Lane, heard the sound of rushing water, walked through the alley, and arrived at the edge of the Bianhe River behind the alley, looking at the rolling Bianhe River, and secretly excited: People like Luo Gong are not sure, and they will never say lightly, and now their crisis is finally lifted!

Yang Hao was extremely happy in his heart, took a long breath of moist and fresh air, and showed a peaceful and relaxed smile on his face, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was someone behind him, and when he turned around, he saw three females standing there. The three girls are all men's clothes, but they did not deliberately hide their identities, a woman in men's clothes in the middle looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, a pair of big eyes and bright, pink makeup, very charming, seeing Yang Hao turn around, the girl immediately clenched her fists like a man, and said crisply: "Dean Yang is invited." ”

Yang Hao took a closer look, and the girl in her prime, smiled at him, obviously with a tender face, but she smiled charmingly.

"It's her!" That night, Wu Wa'er on Longting Lake was not decorated, it was just a clear soup with water, and it was difficult for Yang Hao to forget this beauty. As soon as she spoke, the other two men and women divided left and right, surrounding him, and Yang Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that they looked like robbers.

He just learned that the looming knife that he had been hanging over his head had been removed, and now that the official was doing it, making money, he was relaxed, the spring breeze was proud, and he was happy, so he had a narrow mood, pretending not to know her identity, and smiled: "It's Yang, I don't know if the girl is doing this, is this to rob money, or to rob sex?" ”

Wu Wa'er's plump lips opened and closed slightly, glanced at him, and asked with a somewhat playful and sly smile: "Dean Yang is really a wonderful person, I don't know how this girl wants to rob money, rob sex...... And how? ”

Yang Hao laughed, showing a pig brother, and said with a smile: "Robbery, no." Come on! ”
